Products

Research and Development We have a research and development team in CECID. Our
products help enterprises of different sizes to collaborate
electronically using the latest e-commerce open standards.
To develop our products, we analyze requirements from the
following channels:

1. Open Standards

Open standards are the basis of all our development.
We mainly focus on the ebXML set of specifications, Web
Services, RosettaNet, and UBL.

2. Open Source Community

We commit some of our products to open source communities
such as freebXML.
We believe that open source and open standards are two
essential driving forces for the adoption of e-commerce
technologies. In fact, open source users around the world
give valuable comment and suggestion to our products.
As a result, the products become more market relevant
and usable.

3. Pilot Projects

Pilot projects are another important source of requirements
for our development. We learn from real world situation
and obtain user requirements from these projects.
This channel also ensures our products are
market relevant.

4. Interoperability Initiatives

In order to make sure our products conform to open standards,
we actively participate in international interoperability
testing initiatives. The test result guarantees our product
to be interoperable with similar products by other vendors.
Sometimes, the interoperability test provides feedback
requirements to our products.

To-date, CECID has developed seven products. Two of them,
Hermes and ebMail, are open-source projects that can be
downloaded for free at freebXML.
